WHY RELEASING MORE MUSIC DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MORE GROWTH
For a long time, the idea has been repeated that the more releases an artist makes, the more his or her project will grow.

HOW TO ORGANISE YOUR MUSIC YEAR WITHOUT BURNING OUT
Organising a musical year is not about doing more, but about doing better. Many artists start the year with energy and good intentions, but as the months go by, fatigue, frustration and a sense of not moving forward set in. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent, but a lack of [...]
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR ARTISTS (AND HOW TO MAKE THEM HAPPEN)
Every year, many artists make the same resolutions: to release more music, to grow on platforms, to professionalise the project or to take it “more seriously”.

While playlists can bring one-off visibility, basing an entire strategy on them often leads to frustration and unsustainable results. In [...]
Why many artists won't grow on Spotify in 2026 (even if their music is good)
Every week thousands of new songs are released on Spotify. Many are well produced, have good lyrics and a competitive sound... and yet they don't grow.
